Warid GLOW Brings 'Bombay Dreams' To Karachi
From the Blog MastiKorner: Warid GLOW Brings 'Bombay Dreams' To Karachi - The Largest & The Finest Play In The Country Karachi: January, 27 th , 2011: Over the years, English theater in Pakistan has experienced tremendous growth. Warid has become a leader in promoting arts in the community. Greatly supporting the young talents, Warid GLOW has become synonymous to quality theater in Pakistan. The much hyped and awaited play 'Bombay Dreams" is now staged at the Karachi Art Council for 25 days consecutively, starting from 27 th , January to February, 20 th , 2011. Originally, the play was an Andrew Lloyd Webber production, created by famous Indian music director A R Rahman . Directed by Shah Sharabeel, it is an adaptation of the original one in accordance with the local scenario. The play beautifully hints at the identity issues confronting human beings. GLOW and Center Stage Productions staged an array of successful plays over the years in the cities of Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi including; The Phantom of the Opera', Tom, Dick and Harry, Home Is Where Your Cloths Are, You Only Marry Twice, Moulin Rouge and Bombay Dreams. These are the largest plays of this magnitude in the region and believed to be the most expensive stage shows in Pakistan. The long association between Warid and CSP has not only set a precedent of quality stage for dramatic presentations in Pakistan but has also groomed the audience which comes to appreciate quality theater. Center Stage Productions is the most recognisable figure in Pakistan theater that is rewriting the rules of commercial theater for our entertainment starved society for over 10 years. Back in 2010, Sharabeel brought 'Moulin' Rouge' to Karachi with this promise that he will return to Karachi again in 2011 to stage Bombay Dreams. Commenting on Warid's backing of the play Mr. Suhail Jan, General Manager Commercial, Warid Telecom said‚ "We greatly support theater in the country because it is a way for us to foster the local talent of Pakistan and help our young leaders to pursue passion and also cultivate enthusiasm for arts and entertainment in the community. These plays are the biggest showcase of performing arts in Pakistan. In a country where talent is in abundance but finances can be a hurdle‚ Warid is proud to be a leader in promoting arts in the country." Director of the play Shah Sharahbeel said, "On behalf of Centre Stage Productions, I am deeply grateful to Warid Telecom and its team for supporting Center Stage Productions. I am sure we as a Nation have all the guts and the talent to become a truly progressive Nation. We don't just do plays but we are building a norm, driven by our philosophy of being faithful to our talents. We demonstrate our best and that's what makes Center Stage Productions the finest and the most disciplined theatre production company in the country. Once again I am extremely grateful to Warid Telecom for all their generous support" "The play is known for its rhythmic tones composed by A R Rahman and will definitely cheer the audience of Karachi" added Shah Sharabeel the director of the play.

We are career counselling disasters
From the Blog That's Wrong!: We are career counselling disasters - No no this one! There is this guy who does bachelors in economics from the Government College University Lahore with distinction. He shifts to Islamabad and does MBA from Quaid-e-Azam university. He gets nostalgic about Lahore and returns to do LLB from Punjab University. Lahore's hustle and bustle starts disturbing him and he moves to Islamabad again and does LLM from the International Islamic University. He feels a little empty and does masters in criminology. After studying so much, he decides to settle in the life and appears in CSS and gets a job in Pakistan Railways. If he wanted to do CSS, he could have opted for it right after his bachelors. He wasted 8 precious years of his life and money on studying things that had no practical value for him. We are ages away from career counselling. Most of the professionals around us did not opt for their professions. They accidentally landed in them. My father went to Lahore to become a primary school teacher, but somehow landed in law of which he had developed an aptitude. Right now he has a large clientele and is a successful lawyer by many ways. Following my father's golden footsteps, I went to Islambad's National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES) – commonly known as FAST – to do software engineering. After spending two years in the university, I realised that I didn’t have any aptitude from computers and I quit the degree half way. I came to Lahore and started working in Daily Times and studying law. Me and my father have a slight edge over the guy as we only wasted a couple of years contrary to him wasting eight years. .
